While Telltale will continue to release its episodic Walking Dead video games, Activision announced the development of a first-person Walking Dead title.

According to IGN, development is being handled by Terminal Reality and is based on AMC’s The Walking Dead TV show. The story centers on Daryl Dixon and his brother Merle. Players control Daryl as he makes his way through the Georgia countryside. You'll have the choice of fighting zombies or avoiding them, and even meet additional characters throughout his journey. Are they friend or foe?

Supplies will be limited and you'll have to manage food and ammunition. The game is targeted for release next year on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.

Activision has made a surprise announcement that it plans to turn AMC's hit TV show The Walking Dead into a first-person shooter.Unlike Telltale Games' episodic adventure game, which follows a character and story of its own simply set in the world of The Walking Dead, Activision's new game will actually features series regular, and my personal favorite, Daryl Dixon.Developed by Terminal Reality, the story of this The Walking Dead game will revolve around Daryl Dixon and his brother Merle Dixon on what the developer describes as a "haunting, unforgiving quest to make their way to the supposed safety of Atlanta."

Players can choose to fight or use stealth to avoid detection from the hordes of zombies that use sight, sound, and smell to hunt them.“No place is truly safe for Daryl as he makes his way through the Georgia countryside in this new, post-apocalyptic world," Activision said of The Walking Dead video game.

Supplies and resources will be scarce and players will have to manage food, ammunition, and supplies as they journey to Atlanta. Along the way, players will reportedly encounter other survivors who can either help or hinder their progress and will be forced to make decisions whether or not these characters can accompany Daryl. This "represents just some of the major decisions that will constantly be made while fighting to survive."

....The Walking Dead video game will be released for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC sometime in 2013.
